I just went out to buy a sweet potato for dinner, and the store I elected to go to is about a 3.5 block walk from where I live, in a major US city. It's dark out now (just got back), and as I was walking home with Reginald (the potato, it was a big one so I named it), I crossed an intersection that was the midway point in my return walk.

Out of nowhere, I heard about 30 seconds of VERY clear, in tempo, church bells ringing, coming from down the street on my left side.

I've lived here 4 years now and there are no churches that way.

    I once saw a very strange ball of light moving over a field. If I saw it today, I'd guess it was a drone without a second thought, but this was in the 90's. I remember my brain churning through explanations for what I was seeing - fairies, will-o-wisps, aliens... couldn't land on anything concrete besides "hallucinations." The way the ball of light was moving was so ... unaffected by the wind, not like a balloon or bubble or something caught in the breeze, more like the tip of a pen bobbing around, controlled by something.

    Looking back, I think I might have seen ball lightning.

    Or, again, hallucinating.

      Yeah I've seen will-o-wisps or what looked like a will-o-wisp in a rural field. They call them witches over here!
